Space is a Mathematics topic for the second level in Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR) syllabus that is difficult for primary school pupils to understand because it requires them to visualize the 3-dimensional shapes and 2-dimensional polygons in solving Mathematical questions. Therefore, Augmented Reality (AR) is proposed due to its potential as it allows pupils to visualize the 3-dimensional and 2- dimensional shapes practically. The objective of this research is to develop an effective AR educational tool based on User Experience (UX) and the identified needs for primary school pupils to visualize 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes in learning Mathematics on Space topic. ASSURE instructional design model and quantitative approach have been used in this research. The quantitative approach focused on analysing users⁵ needs for the AR educational tool that has been developed and analysing its effectiveness. It involved surweys on the users' needs and the effectiveness of the AR educational tool. This AR educational tool was developed following Waterfall Methodology and its effectiveness was evaluated using ISO/IEC 25022. All data were analysed to find the mean and were used to determine the users' needs for the development of the AR educational tool. The findings of the research include a list of user needs, a successfully developed AR educational tool based on the UX, and users' needs obtained. The high mean of effectiveness test shows that the users were satisfied with the AR educational tool that had been developed. This research is very important as an effort to increase pupils9 understanding of space topic and assist primary school teachers to implement teaching sessions more effectively.
